Upper estimate price exceeded by 56 %.
The work The Skill of the White King to deal with different Nations in Wartime, from: Der Weisskunig (B. 80-71) by Hans Burgkmair the Elder was sold in the Old Master, Decorative, Modern & Contemporary Prints including an Important Private Collection by Lill Tschudi auction at Christies in London in December 2012. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,250.00 (€ 1,541.60), 56% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hans Burgkmair the Elder achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Zwei Darstellungen des Heiligen Ulrich von Augsburg, um 1505/08. in September 2010 with an auction result of CHF 120,000.00 (€ 89,949.27).

Die Arbeit The Skill of the White King to deal with different Nations in Wartime, from: Der Weisskunig (B. 80-71) von Hans Burgkmair the Elder wurde im Dezember 2012 in der Auktion Old Master, Decorative, Modern & Contemporary Prints including an Important Private Collection by Lill Tschudi bei Christies in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.250,00 (€ 1.541,60) und damit 56% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hans Burgkmair the Elder erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Zwei Darstellungen des Heiligen Ulrich von Augsburg, um 1505/08. im September 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von CHF 120.000,00 (€ 89.949,27).
